Alchemy, espionage, intrigue, and treachery…

Hmm.... What do you think? I LOVE the soundtrack! ;o)

"Here you are with Oscar at Versailles in 1682. An elaborate investigation awaits you. To solve it, you will need to put yourself into the skin of a 17th century gentleman (oh my!) and avoid the traps set for you by a mysterious enemy…

To achieve your goal you will need humour, logic and shrewd judgment. (sounds about right!)
Fight with a dagger! Dance the Menuet! Use your catapult as in these old days. The Sun King, Vauban, Seignelay and over 30 fun, sinister and brilliant characters accompany you! Valets, Marquesses and knaves, they are all there to help you, to entertain you, or to challenge you!

Discover the Château de Versailles in 1682, the King’s apartments, the gardens,
the menagerie and the town, as well as numerous other areas of Versailles, some well-known, others unexpected!"

These Gossip blogs are so bad for my wallet! I had to run out (figuratively speaking, since I only ran to Amazon) and buy a copy right away. I have become a total Versailles junkie after my first trip there last year. I even had to go back a couple months ago to see that Court Pomp show. I'm out of control! ;)

This book meanders through Marie-Antoinette’s estate as the queen herself would have walked it: in the French Gardens, via winding paths in the Anglo-Chinese Gardens, through the Belvedere Gardens —where fabulous nocturnal parties were hosted— past the entrancing aromas of the shrubs surrounding the Temple of Love, to the wildflowers of the Garden of Solitude.
